It costs a lot to keep Mark Zuckerberg safe. 

Facebook Inc spent US$7.33mil (RM29.91mil) last year protecting its chief executive officer at his homes and during his tour across the US. Last week, the social-media giant said it would provide an additional US$10mil (RM40.78mil) a year for him to spend on personal security.
